We Need Courage

In order for us in our life to suceed we have got to have courage, both to fail and courage to try again. I remember the very moment when the doctor told me I had a Brain Tumor, and how numb I felt inside.But in that same moment knew I had to have courage.

When I first left the office that day I had it in my mind to just go on with life how I always did and I would be ok.I was very wrong. As the days begin to come and go the pain begin to increase. Then the motor skills in my right side was weaking quickley and my courage start to diminish away. I knew every decision that I made was not only going to affect me, but Tosh my only child, my family and my friends.

So I had to begin to build courage up from within me. To stand on the word of God. This is the first scripture the Lord took me too. Wait on the Lord: be of good courage and he shall strengthen thine own heart: wait I say, on the Lord Psalm 27:14

Well hopice was brought in and I was given about 3 months to live. Now this was not what I wanted to hear or Tosh But I realized , no one calls my shots accept my Lord. This Brain Tumor may take my life but its not going to defeat me. I pray for courage everyday. For see when you are sick inside and no that you can't fix the problem you can become angry, but the word says: For his anger endureth but for a moment: in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5

I knew I had to get a grip on my life and live what I preached, I had to get courage back. The bible says that when we pass thru waters that he will be with us, that the waters will not over take us and when we walk thru fire we shall not be burned ........Isaiah 43:2

No matter what you are going thru, the Lord will give you the courage to go thru it. It's not easy having a sickness or problem that you know could take you soon. But let me remind you, whether sick or well you could be taken soon.....

For I am persauded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39

Only thru Jesus, and trying to optain courage thru this ordeal have I been strengthen. I now focus on living each day to its fullest and know each day I ask for courage to press for a new day, yes I still have a Brain Tumor, but I have courage in the Lord to bring me thru. And I believe and live by this scripture. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Phillippians 4:13

Take ahold of Jesus, and pray for courage. For if you have courage you can suceed.

I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord. Psalm 118:17

I Love you all, and May God Bless You
